Grid Systems in Graphic Design/Raster Systeme Fur Die Visuele Gestaltung

類似本のようなものも出ていますが、 やっぱりグリッドデザインと言えば、 まずこの本ではないでしょうか。

すべて外国語です そこが問題なくて、デザインが好きなら買いです。 言葉はわからなくても視覚的に美しいシステムだということが直感的に理解できます。ただ、やっぱり日本語で説明してほしいところですね

I recommend it to everyone who wants to gain knowledge about typography.

Grid Systems in Graphic Design: A Visual Communication Manual for Graphic Designers, Typographers and Three Dimensional Designers, 9th edition 2015, is no doubt a classic in the lore of graphic design and layout technique. A primer, textbook, and conceptual exposition all-in-one. We get a sense of how a message is conveyed through carefully laid design work as we read the many insights the book provides. It is all done with the clarity and conviction of a master in the field. The book is a must read for students and practitioners alike as it encapsulates an approach to design from which creativity may ensue. So fundamental is the logic of the tools proposed. On a negative note, the book is plagued with misprints, an unforgivable occurrence in any publication, let alone a work on typography and one by none other than Josef Müller-Brockmann. It does nothing for the good name of Niggli Verlag that such poor proofreading was tolerated. I am grateful that the publishers keep the book in print, but such a sloppy edition ought never to have made it to print unchecked. It reaches absurdity when, previous to another error, on page 94 we can read two different measurements for the same item: 5.6 cm in the English version of the text; 6,5 cm in the German. Furthermore, I am unaware if Herr Müller-Brockmann did not attach any importance to leaving orphans (single words on a line at the end of a paragraph), but I do know that it is a no-no of modern typography practice. Thus, I was puzzled to see numerous such orphans in the text of the book. Nevertheless, the mastery of the author is above all that. Though irksome to encounter, the misprints can be overlooked as one is engrossed in the significance of the text and illustrations. The book can be enjoyed both in the German original, and in the terse English translation as the book is bilingual. I heartily recommend it.

Very helpful as a reference for creating a personal portfolio and for learning the basics of editorial design.

This book is written so well. Not only is it informative but also stylish. I would recommend it to anyone that does any sort of creative work.

Todo bien, a excepción de un pequeño daño en una de las esquinas del libro
